SEC Action Chairman Michael S. Piwowar
Dear SEC Action Chairman Piwowar,
Their words might be better, but you might listen more to mine. Remember blood diamonds? Tanzanite? I don't hear about these any more, so supposedly this has stopped. Now minerals. There seems to be a sort of control on this, which you are being asked to remove. Please don't. Surely these are mined elsewhere. So maybe it adds a nickel to an I-phone's price. More likely the difference lines some corporate pocket -- likely not even American. We owe them no favors. Let it inconvenience, if it helps protect our environment
Sincerely,
Tom Watson
